stillborn fawn - abature.

why are digital versions of many bleak environment releases so difficult to track down? some are readily available while others are non-existant, and it's incredibly frustrating.

that being said, and as a kind of follow-up to my vocivus post, here's another impossible-to-find bleak environment release: stillborn fawn's "abature."

this one is straight-up, full-speed-ahead black metal. with no ambience and no filler (save for two very short dialogue samples at the beginning of tracks one and three), stillborn fawn tear through four tracks in a little more than sixteen minutes - just long enough to satisfy while still leaving you wanting more.

throat-shredding vocals and head-nodding riffs weave together to create a caustic tapestry of anger and aggression. needless to say, if you're a fan of xothist, vocivus, or anything else on bleak environment, this one is a no-brainer.

unfortunately, it's no longer available from the label, but there is one copy for sale on discogs, and you can download the band's first release for free on their bandcamp page. check them out, you won't be disappointed.
